What People Say

The best way to predict your future is to create it.

Abraham Lincoln

To lead people, walk beside them. As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence … When the best leader’s work is done, the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!’

Lao Tsu

You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things.
